The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Thursday announced that it will hold the dry run for the implementation of the single ticketing system, a unified apprehension for traffic violators in the National Capital Region (NCR), in April.

In a statement, MMDA acting chairman Don Artes said officials from seven local government units in Metro cities have expressed readiness for the dry run of the single ticketing system.

These cities are San Juan, Muntinlupa, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Parañaque, Manila and Caloocan.

"The single ticketing system across Metro Manila is nearing full implementation. There is a need to conduct a dry run to increase public awareness," the MMDA chief said.

Following the approval, the agency released a matrix that contains the list of traffic violations with their corresponding standardized fines and penalties.
